*hugs rose* Good evening dear friend. How was your day?
4:00 am
grannyrose
not too bad. gp appointment where she showed me a letter from workcover who would appear are trying to overturn the medical panel decision....lollll what idiots!!
4:01 am
sprite
they are soooooo full of it. But I am sorry you have to go through this. It is not what you need. Only solace is, in the end they will have to pay up.
4:01 am
grannyrose
i know.....i wish they would just wake up and smell the coffee.
4:03 am
sprite
I'd rather have them smell something else. Like the shit they are pulling, grin.
4:03 am
grannyrose
btw, although my liver function tests are not yet back to normal, the current test results are half what i was discharged with. and it is official. i have had drug-induced hepatitis.
4:03 am
grannyrose
and my CRP is 9 !!!! * doing happy dance*
4:04 am
sprite
omg sweetie. No wonder you were miserable. Isn't it the pits to be so hypersensitive to medication? Glad the test results are so much better already.
4:04 am
sprite
oh wow! Now that is good news. *hugs*
4:04 am
grannyrose
and....and....and....
4:04 am
grannyrose
i have lost another 2kg
4:05 am
sprite
lol ok. Well, that is a nice bonus. At least something good come out of it.
4:05 am
grannyrose
when i find them i'll pop them in the post and send them to ruby.
4:06 am
sprite
lol, my son is in the grid, and so am I
4:06 am
grannyrose
yeah, it was very tempting but i resisted...lol
4:08 am
grannyrose
how was your night?
4:09 am
sprite
we had a marvellous time yesterday evening, rose. Tim loved his presents, and he enjoyed having us with him. I actually took Rob and Caya home, then rode back on my bicycle and stayed till closing time, at Tim's urgent request, backed by his friends.
4:09 am

hello jaxx

good morning, sprite
4:10 am

g'day jaxx dear. how are yo doing, honey?
4:10 am
rubyfoo
good morning everybody
4:11 am
rubyfoo
Sunshine! Flowers! but still no scan results :(
4:11 am
grannyrose
and heeeere's ruby. * gentle hugs*
4:11 am
jaxx7
OK. They lost my test results at the hospital so I am repeating them. Another delay.
4:11 am
sprite
the pub owner told us how beautifully tim behaves there, always helping out, always polite even after way too many beers, lol. Our raising him seems to have rubbed off somewhere :D
4:11 am
grannyrose
oh for goodness sake, jaxx
4:12 am
sprite
hi ruby *hugs* how rotten. It is taking long.
4:12 am
sprite
aw jaxx, how awful.
4:12 am
jaxx7
Hi, Ruby. It sounds as if you and I are in the same boat.
4:14 am
rubyfoo
I just need to know that it's nothing grave plus I am sick and tired of taking painkillers all the time
4:14 am
jaxx7
Just to add to things, My thyroid is knobbly and obscuring the parathyroids so they think they might operate and 'have a dig on the left side of the neck'. Hey, this is my neck they are talking about.
4:14 am
rubyfoo
Yes, Rosie, pls post the kgs., I've only gained back 500 gm
4:14 am
sprite
so sorry to hear that, jaxx.
4:15 am
sprite
yeah ruby, it is time you get that information. I hope it is something easily treatable, and that you will be without pain soon.
4:15 am
grannyrose
*hugs and kisses* to my poor friends, jaxx and ruby. it is so frustrating for you both.
4:16 am
rubyfoo
If it ever gets warm enough, I'll go out in the sun but for the moment, it feels more like Marc, except for the flowers
4:16 am
jaxx7
My school friend for over years died last week rom MRSA after an op and another one a year ago from the same thing. I don't know if I want this op now.
4:16 am
rubyfoo
am I crazy, or does this grid have the same words as yesterday's?
4:17 am
sprite
scary thoughts, jaxx. Experiences like that obscure the real odds, which are a lot better. I can understand how they scare you.
4:17 am
grannyrose
jaxx !! that is so sad. i am so sorry for what you are going through.
4:17 am
sprite
quite a lot of overlap from yesterday, ruby, yes
4:18 am
jaxx7
Don't you find that an overlap happens quite often.
4:18 am
grannyrose
i find it quite strange that a new word or three from a grid appear in the next.
4:18 am
sprite
yes, someone pointed it out to me once and it is true. It seems the randomised new grid isn't that random. There is a kind of progression with the letters of the grid before.
4:19 am
rubyfoo
when my husband was in the ER for a couple of hours a few years ago people were coming in and out of his room without sanitizing or washing their hands I was going crazy!
4:20 am
jaxx7
They used to have hand wash dispensers as you entered the hospital and at the door of each ward but they have stopped this now and recommend washing your hands with soap and water but then don't provide such facilities, duh
4:21 am
grannyrose
over here all nursing staff, no matter where they work, have to take a hand hygiene test every year. a pass is 10 out 0f 10
4:21 am
rubyfoo
when I complained t the doctor who gave him his rabies shots, who happened to be I charge of hospital hygiene, he said it wasn't true and I was makin it u! He was so angry that he wouldn[t even say good bye to me
4:22 am
rubyfoo
(sorry about the typos, my hands are freezing and I'm a little drugged up)
4:23 am
jaxx7
You mustn't upset them, Ruby. Our local hospital has three wards closed with norovirus so something isn't right
4:23 am
sprite
don't worry about them, ruby, we can understand you just fine
4:33 am

we haven't been to the local Italian resto for 10 days and he just called me to see if we were |OK. How sweet is that?
4:43 am
sprite
that is amazing, ruby. How lovely. Did you tell him to bring you lunch every other day? :D
4:44 am
rubyfoo
hahah, I wish. But Burt hates their food and John wouldn't go there
4:45 am
sprite
who cares. You like it well enough and it is you who needs feeding up.
4:45 am

aaah, half at last and off to lunch

Shall I try again? No, better not.

4:51 am

lol rose, that is the best excuse for a squirrel that you have come up with so far ;)
4:51 am
grannyrose
lollll.... pfft sprite
4:53 am
sprite
and with that, I bid you goodbye. Fireflies. Nice grid, not as many weirdos as yesterday's.
jaxx, all the best, I hope the new scan will be soon and the results will be good.
rose, *hugs* my darling friend, take care and keep on recuperating. Lots of love.
4:54 am
grannyrose
WTG SPRITE!!! i hope your day is doable. hgs and kisses. xoxoxox

Thanks, Sprite. well done on finishing. tc
5:02 am
jaxx7
I am waiting, for the boiler engineer. Yesterday it was the washing machine repairman. Two appliances out in two weeks. We have hot water in only one tap in the house and it is pot luck which tap works. The washing machine sounds like a jet plane coming in to land.
5:15 am
jaxx7
Babble acting up.
5:16 am
zoozzoom
Not for me, Jaxx.
5:16 am
jaxx7
Lots of the dreaded red boxes
5:18 am
jaxx7
I think I have lost Rose now.
5:19 am
zoozzoom
I keep missing them by minutes.
5:19 am
jaxx7
Anyway, Zooz. How are you and how is the Isle of Wight? Miserable wet day here.
5:20 am
zoozzoom
I am well thanks :-) It is looking rather moody here.And the wind is picking up.
5:20 am
zoozzoom
How are you keeping these days?
5:22 am
jaxx7
Looking out of the window I can see the Poplar bending over so it must be windy here too. We have workmen on the roof opposite. They are removing the chimneys much to the seagulls disgust as they were nesting there.
5:23 am
jaxx7
I went for my results and, lo and behold, the hospital had lost them. I have had to start again so that's another delay. It has been six months already.
5:24 am
jaxx7
Other than being a little annoyed, I am fine thank you
5:25 am
zoozzoom
I did not think workmen were allowed to disturb wildlife nests. Sorry to here about the loss and delay in your reults and treatment. bloody typical though.
5:26 am
jaxx7
They came in about a month ago and removed three nests with eggs in by the simple method of sweeping them off the roof. I tried complaining in the press and to the police after taking advice from the RSPB.
5:28 am
zoozzoom
Good for you.Shame you could not taken photos or video footage of this happening.
5:31 am
jaxx7
It was the Bank holiday weekend so the birds came back and again the nests were swept off. One pair gave up but the other two didn't. So far they have rebuilt 6 times.They won't be able to again as they are now removing the chimney stacks the birds nested by. Poor things. I know they are noisy but they are endangered and on the Red list. All are agreed that working on a roof is not a valid reason for removing nests but no-one wants to do anything about it and I am a little too old to climb the scaffolding and tie myself to it.
5:34 am
zoozzoom
LOL no I could not climb that high either.But for me it is the fear of heights that prevents me from doing so.Did not know the seagul was on the endangered list though! plenty of them around here. But they still should not of got rid of the nests like that especially with eggs in the nest.
5:37 am
jaxx7
Do you watch Springwatch? They did a feature on herring Gulls and lesser black-backed gulls. It seems as if there are a lot of them because they have moved in so close to us. Herring gulls are endangered and the black-backed are heading the same way. I can remember a time when the sand bank in the estuary here was covered with them but now there are very few.
5:39 am
zoozzoom
I watched most of the springwatch series last year but have not managed to watch any this time round.Must record them, as I do enjoy learning about our wildlife.
5:41 am
sukee
Good morning.
5:42 am
zoozzoom
Hello, /sukee :-)
5:42 am
jaxx7
It is against the Willife Act of 1981 to move nests of seagulls when they have eggs or chicks in them unless they are causing a nuisance or attacking people. These aren't and weren't. nevertheless they have been sent packing in a rather brutal way. last year they shot the chicks.
5:42 am
jaxx7
Wildlife even, dyslexic fingers.
5:43 am
jaxx7
Hi, sukee. I will get off my soapbox now. I just find it troubling when people come to live at the seaside and then moan about the gulls.
5:44 am
sukee
Crazy, it's like people who buy a house next to the airport and complain about the noise.
5:44 am
jaxx7
or move to the country and moan about the cockerels waking them up.
5:45 am
sukee
Would much rather hear birds than the highway.
5:47 am
jaxx7
The blackbirds here sing at dusk this time of year. Beautiful song but our parrot has taken to imitating them and he has not got such a beautiful voice.
5:48 am
jaxx7
He also screeches when my husband leaves the room or the house. That is earsplitting.
5:50 am
jaxx7
Here comes the rain, zoom. Really heavy. Those nice workmen across the road are getting really wet, what a shame
5:51 am
sukee
No rain here, we actually need it
5:51 am
zoozzoom
Sorry I went and got a hot water bottle..my hands are cold..how sad is that..it is nearly June!
5:51 am
zoozzoom
Good serves them right.
5:52 am
zoozzoom
I love the sound of the blackbirds singing here too, Jaxx.They start at around 03:35am here..lol
5:52 am
jaxx7
Exactly. Being Devon it takes one to tap at what remains of the chimney and three to watch him.
5:53 am
zoozzoom
No rain here yet though i am sure it will not be long.
5:53 am
jaxx7
yes but it is such a lovely mellow sound.
5:53 am
zoozzoom
Oh I can assure you it is like that here..lol
5:53 am
sukee
woo got an 8 by myself :)
5:54 am
jaxx7
Well done. Share a clue?
5:54 am

I bet it is the TR8?
5:54 am

And well done!
5:54 am

You put them on your feet, Jaxx.
5:54 am

Clue please.
5:55 am

I just clued it, Jaxx :-)
5:55 am
sukee
Or, in sports you work with a tr...
5:57 am
zoozzoom
Jaxx, Here they have just resurfaced a lot of roads. On one of them two days later workmen came along and made a ruddy big hole in it! what is the sense in that.Why do these companies not communicate with each other.
5:58 am
jaxx7
Got it, thanks
5:59 am
jaxx7
They keep filling in potholes here and next winter back they come. Anything but do a proper job.
6:00 am
jaxx7
The workmen have given up and driven away, poor things
6:01 am
zoozzoom
It has been like that here for years.It was about time they started to do a proper job. But not for other companies to come along a couple of days later and dig them up again.
6:02 am
zoozzoom
We have the Isle Of Wight festival coming up this June. the roads are going to be gridlocked that's for sure.
6:02 am
jaxx7
Maybe they don't speak the same language. lol
6:02 am
zoozzoom
Or is it July..Not sure now..lol
6:03 am
zoozzoom
I don't think they speak at all to each other..lol
6:03 am

Have you got gym today, Sukee?

Looks like the sun is trying to poke through now, Jaxx!

286,278 and 252...last thirteen grid counts are listed on Lickety's Page
7:22 am

Molly do you know who to contact about this problem. This is me bichon
7:23 am
MollyL
You would have to contact the board owner about that. dr.god@playbabble.com
7:23 am
MollyL
Bich, why are you registering again?
7:24 am
Anniebrook
Maybe Mr. Bichon is registering?
7:26 am

Mr. Bichon is a whiz kid. He would probably make short work of these grids.

For sure

today is my sons last real day of high school. Next week is finals so I dont think that counts as a real day
7:29 am
Trifioso
I get paid molly, but not enough to live on, which is something I need to stop ignoring.
7:30 am
Trifioso
oh wow, river! Such a symphony of emotions for you....
7:30 am
MollyL
It has a nasty way of catching up with you
7:31 am
Riverdance
I know.....lots of lasts lately.....last track meet that I was able to attend 2 weeks ago. Last spring concert this past Tuesday night. Last play was in April.
7:31 am
Riverdance
graduation is June 13
7:31 am
Riverdance
My daughter graduated college on May 17 so this has been a big year
7:31 am
MollyL
Is he off to college in the Fall? Is your nest emptying?
7:32 am
Trifioso
I have no graduations next year River, and I am enjoying that fact immensely. They are exciting, but draining.
7:32 am
Riverdance
OH NO Molly, Sarah moved back home when she graduated. And Keith is going to a local school and commuting to save on tuition. At least his first two years.
7:33 am
Riverdance
My daughter will be with me for a while yet - the starving artist and all that!
7:34 am
Riverdance
Her school loans come due this fall. She is working but no way can she afford her own place.
7:35 am
Anniebrook
I remember all that. It was exciting except for the school loans. All paid off now. Thank God.
7:36 am
Trifioso
at my son's college graduation last week, many of the students had decorated their mortarboards. The biggest applause was for the young woman who had written "Debt Free!" on hers :)
7:36 am
Riverdance
I never had school loans luckily but did not go to college right away. I worked and the company I worked for paid my tuition. I went nights. It was alot but wonderful to get my degree.
7:36 am
Anniebrook
I wish all the graduates luck, happiness, health and good fortune.
7:36 am
MollyL
It's hard to get out of college debt free these days.
7:36 am
Riverdance
thats great Trif
7:37 am
Riverdance
I dont know how some families can afford to pay for their kids college. I cant do it. Wish I could.
7:37 am
Trifioso
that is great, river! He is hoping to go to grad school that way - find a job that provides tuition reimbursement.
7:38 am
bichon2
Annie, beat me one day in QP. Great going
7:38 am
Trifioso
it is indeed problematic, river. My son's companera had to leave school halfway through third year. Her family couldn't afford to help her, and she had run out of student aid. It was really sad.
7:39 am

Bichon why are you here as Bichon2?
7:39 am
Riverdance
My incentive at the time was a particular job I wanted in the company but a college degree was required. I didn't have kids back then so took classes at night. My only expense was my books.
7:39 am
phaeton
stats for the X pls
7:39 am
bichon2
I need to upgrade because I reset my computer and I couldn't get in touch with Lickety
7:40 am
Riverdance
That is sad....
7:40 am

Last one mi 7/36 clues please
7:40 am
Trifioso
xe 5 phaeton, then the plural
7:40 am
MollyL
But you had your regular identity yesterday. Did you do a System Restore?
7:42 am
Trifioso
stats for upper right m please?
7:42 am
Riverdance
I need to get to work - have a great day everyone.
7:43 am
Trifioso
have a good one river.
7:43 am
bichon2
No, I did a System reset. That wiped my computer of everything but the files
7:44 am
penquis
why can't you just log in to Babble with your old id password?
7:44 am
MollyL
Bich, it did not wipe your computer. It reset it to the default settings. A System Restore will take you back to your previous settings.
7:46 am
bichon2
Yes, but the reset wiped my settings.
7:46 am
bichon2
Because I don't know my old password
7:46 am
bichon2
I tried upgrading to Pro and it wouldn't take my credit card
7:47 am
phaeton
bichon, you need to contact Dr.G not lickety
7:47 am
bichon2
Yes, just sent Dr. G an email
7:48 am
MollyL
Reset does not wipe your settings. You would have to know a lot about computers to completely strip your hard drive. Reset takes your computer back to the default settings. You need to do a System Restore.
7:49 am
bichon2
No I didn't reset to factory settings
7:50 am
phaeton
stats for the lone Y pls
7:50 am
LuvWordGames

Trifioso
ye 5.14 phae
7:51 am
phaeton
where you log in...isn't there a 'I forgot my password" button?
7:51 am
MollyL
My point is, you want your computer to have the settings it had on it a few days ago, a week ago, whatever. That is what System Restore is for.
7:51 am
Trifioso
clue for the top right M please? I know it's a my 7....

Bichon, I know you didn't do a Restore. That is WHAT YOU NEED TO DO to get your settings back.
7:53 am
Anniebrook
the lone Y is 5/14---busybody
7:54 am
bichon2
I don't think that's possible. If you know how to do it, please tell me
7:57 am

7:58 am

8:20 am
phaeton
ye5...busy body
8:21 am
phaeton
nosy person...usually Jewesh
8:21 am
Anniebrook
it's a Yiddish word
8:21 am
phaeton
or a Jewish matchmaker...it's a babblet
8:22 am
MLFAN17
ty phae and annie
8:22 am
MollyL
As defined by people here...Babblet: a word that you only see in Babble grids...I would not call ye5 a Babblet
8:23 am
MLFAN17
is the se 6 a plural.. I don't have the 5 yet either?
8:25 am
MLFAN17
got both thanks to morewords
8:25 am
Anniebrook
ye5 is definitely not a babblet, a Yiddish word used frequently to describe a nosy person
8:26 am
josephjames
Sometimes I wish there were no such things as prefixes.
8:26 am
Anniebrook
If you speak Yiddish, of course
8:28 am

8:53 am
Scrabbler
I hired my partner's husband to do a long list of jobs here. He is working on the downstairs bathroom--new shower stall, new toilet, new vanity. Then he will do the upstairs bathroom--new tub and surround walls, new vanity, etc.
8:53 am
Scrabbler
I decided it was time to hire someone rather than attempt it myself. I am a DIYer but do not have the time.
8:54 am
crosshair
It is a lot of work!
8:55 am
rururocks
I thought you rent crossie..?
8:56 am

hi hego, love your icon post
9:09 am
hego
Annie, I'm envious. I need to paint but am delaying it.
9:09 am
hego
lol ty Annie.
9:10 am
Anniebrook
I used to have the entire place painted at once. No more. Now I do one room at a time. I have slowed down.
9:10 am
hego
I just hate the mess and disruption.
9:11 am
hego
But so nice when it's done.
9:11 am
cybernan
lol Annie -- I hire someone to do the painting now
9:11 am
Anniebrook
Me too. Me too. Lots of work but I am happy when it is done. In the middle of all this, the mah jongg game was in my apartment. Loads of laughs.
9:11 am
Anniebrook
nan, I hired someone too.
9:12 am
cybernan
speaking of which, hego, I have to literally go and clear the decks --- the painters are arriving this aft. to powerwash the house -- painting on Monday.
9:12 am
Scrabbler
I have to decide on a paint color for the upstairs bathroom. I chose a new shower curtain--"Adirondack pine cones." I might pick a light green. Cream or tan seems too plain.
9:12 am
hego
Brave girls.
9:12 am
hego
I have pale green in my upstairs. Nice and neutral.
9:12 am
car.eeyore
Ooooh...light green!
9:13 am
Scrabbler
Annie, the mah jongg game makes me think of Driving Miss Daisy, one of my favorite movies.
9:13 am
car.eeyore
Good morning everyone!
9:13 am
Scrabbler
Hi Car.
9:13 am
Anniebrook
hi car. :)
9:13 am
Scrabbler
Yes, I think I will do light green and then paint the molding another color from the shower curtain.
9:13 am
hego
Scrabs, how is Remy today?
9:14 am
Anniebrook
paint the molding white
9:14 am
Scrabbler
Running around like a madman. I finally caught him to put him in his room while the contractor is here. So he recovered quickly.
9:15 am
Scrabbler
Annie, that would look nice.
9:15 am
Anniebrook
good to hear, scrabbs
9:15 am
hego
I like white trim.
9:16 am
Scrabbler
The floor will be vinyl tile squares with parquet pattern.
9:16 am
car.eeyore
I'm ready to move in!
9:17 am
hego
Sounds very nice. Redecorating is fun!
9:17 am
hego
Scrabs do you have a spare bunny room for Car?
9:18 am
car.eeyore
The bunnies can stay...I have allergy meds
9:19 am
cybernan
ca 5 following abel's brother(s) please?
9:20 am
Scrabbler
I have 5 bedrooms--one for Remy, one for Gulliver, one for me, and 2 are free. Soon I will try to bond the boys in one of the spare rooms. They need a neutral territory in order to bond.
9:21 am
hego
Might be interesting.
9:21 am
car.eeyore
I have a similar word but with an additional consonant in it, just before the last letter.
9:21 am
car.eeyore
and then plural that
9:21 am
car.eeyore
I don't have the list up, so I'm not sure if that is the right one.
9:22 am
car.eeyore
It is most of the island that the mutineers of the Bounty ended up on.
9:22 am
Scrabbler
They have been next to each other and do not fight. Remy would start humping Gully so that is why I had Remy neutered.
9:22 am
cybernan
of course - ty car
9:23 am
hego
That should help
9:23 am
Scrabbler
If they can be bonded that opens up another bedroom. It will be easier when I have family sleep here.
9:23 am
cybernan
the 6 that follows the plural doesn't make any sense however
9:24 am
car.eeyore
LOL..maybe a carnival person?

hello, babblers.
1:54 pm
72 Temple Owl
just had the most awkward phone call, was asking a ride for tonight and you would have thought i asked to tag along on the honeymoon.
1:56 pm
72 Temple Owl
well, it was stupid of me to ask. even waling around in the dark would be preferable to that chilly reception.
1:56 pm
Judi
So, I guess you didn't get a ride.
1:56 pm
hego
sorry to hear...
1:58 pm
hego
Great weather, no?
1:58 pm
72 Temple Owl
good guess. one day this person came to pick me up and PUSHED her way into the house, which is probably worth 20% of hers. since that time, she has been very chilly
1:59 pm
Judi
Nice today. Yesterday was bloody hot. Rained buckets here at work but not at home. Weird.
2:00 pm
hego
Sounds like not a nice person.
2:00 pm
Judi
Did I call you for a ride? I'm sorry. I just wanted to call you a BEE-YATCH.
2:00 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes. hot here though the cool off on monday will be good for the plantingser many people view her as very generous. i was embarassed, because i know she is very ricj and house proud
2:00 pm

Thank you! This one was a killer!
2:03 pm
hego
You can only do one of 2 things TO
2:03 pm
hego
Forget about her or ask her what the problem is.
2:03 pm
72 Temple Owl
you are right, hego.
2:04 pm
MollyL
It's been warm enough to plant here for weeks. I already have blossoms on my tomato plants.
2:04 pm
72 Temple Owl
she cannot drive at night so another dancer, who lives with his GF, drives her. they have plans (probably dinner) if she said that I would uinderstand..
2:04 pm
hego
But don't sit and worry about it.
2:05 pm
Judi
Planted flowers around the mailbox last weekend. That's the extent of my green thumb this year.
2:05 pm
hego
Yay! for Molly's tom plants!!
2:05 pm
72 Temple Owl

Very funny, but Ru is not the stalker here.
2:21 pm
72 Temple Owl

It's been a busy day -- painters came to power wash the house and I had a lot to do moving deck furniture and potted plants around as will as a garden tool cabinet.
8:48 pm

then had to help take 3 trellises full of clamatis down and put them back up after the washing.
8:48 pm

Well, it sounds like it's time to put up your feet and have a drink.
